I don’t eat cheese. I stopped eating it due to a sinus issue I had years ago. I should say dairy, not cheese. I stopped eating dairy. I was exercising a ton in the years I was eating dairy. I had man tits and a belly. Not the worst but I hated it. I dropped the dairy. My sinus issue went away and I lost a ton of weight and I seriously cannot even gain it back now if I tried. I will pm you my key to almost negative food bill in Thailand. Like seriously. I know it’s unbelievable but maybe you’ll believe it when you read it.
Your diet is very similar to mine. I agree about weight issues. Same here.
pls pm me to Robert, happy to be on this mailing list 😂

2 hours ago, still kicking said:I often wonder why farangs feel attracted to Asians. Not just Thais but any nationality. Don't tell me they look young, ones they over 40 they look the same. So What is the attraction? If you are old sex doesn't matter so what is it?
Its about being able to get two points higher, not about ethnicity. 2 points using wealth in the normal sense of being a good provider.
Man who can pull a 5 at home can pull a 7 here.
and then there is using wealth in the more blunt sense. Man who can afford a street hoe with a meth problem for an hour at home can get a live in hoe here.

Sorry but this topic lacks the basic intelligence before it was even opened. Do you really not understand this yourself? First of all, we can't control or decide to get a (deadly or late detected) cancer at any random age. Secondly we can't control the same thing with a heart attack. To talk about ''not smoking reduces the heart attack chance with 20%'' is complete BS, sure it's nice to add on if you can, but in terms of actual odds or percentages insignificant AKA big BS.
Anyways, if you want to worry as a male in general, and look at pension ages at the same time, I can educate you quickly: 1/4 male die before 65. Even more before 70 and 75. They tell you to work until around that age, and most of you plan to live the good life from 50-55. I tell you now once only: you are doing it wrong if that applies to you.Do you smoke?

My extremely introverted brother who would have been a shut in on benefits became a millionaire selling on eBay and bagged some high quality eastern European ladies (vegan niche sites) back in the day. ......it was good for him.
I was adventurous and was in asia before the internet and made lots of money and girls. The internet age greatly reduced my successes . (Plus aging of course) .....social media has been Carp for me.
There's always winners and losers.

A good looking young guy will do very well in both countries.
a charming guy funny guy will do well in both countries.
a guy who doesn't mind buying girls affections will do well in both countries.
the problem arises when the last group expect to be treated like the first two groups.

Brother hitting the PowerBall (since I stopped buying), and throwing me $1M bone.
I can't think of anything else, as have anything & everything I want/need. Maybe a time machine and go back to being 21 yrs old again. Strangely I'd being doing the same thing that I'm doing now, (chillin') just look and feel younger.
Just curious, if you already have everything you want, well done, but then, what would you do with the million?
And a follow up question that is asked in good faith, how much do you spend a month in thailand to have that everything you want lifestyle?

Leaned more about Thais at concerts than anywhere else

I would love to hear of some storiesd on here from guys who left it all behind .
Last year I was in a bar in Soi Bukhao I actually bought the bar owner 2 or 3 expensive drinks to hear him tell me how his 2 adult sons( in Belgium) had not spoken to him since 2017 when at the age of 57 he divorced and came to Pattaya.
One of his sons was a police officer in Belgium and he spoke highly of him until I made him sad to talk about him ,"you must be proud of him " I said to his smiling shaking head ,yes he said half sad half happy face
"Sad he thinks your a failure of a Dad " I said back to his facial expressions turning to sadness , "he will probably never talk to you again " I said to him to watch his sadness
Imagine you were put on trial, who in your life, from workplace to "friends" if you have any, even from this forum do you think would stand for your defence?
come on GG, you can be better than this!

The fact he just stood there hands under the flowing tap... head turned to the left looking at me ,not moving , it was like ....I made this person think !
I don't know what childhood scar you are carrying. Neglect possibly. I recommend sorting yourself out first before trying to have an "impact" on others.

31 minutes ago, BangkokHank said:I have been escaping from Thailand during the hot season for decades now. Using the air conditioner is not the same as being able to walk outside in the cool, fresh mountain air.
Over the years, I have discovered many places in Asia to escape to. Alas, none of them are in Thailand. My favorites include Mussoorie (in the Himalayan foothills) and Ooty (in Tamil Nadu), both in India. Both of these places have perfect weather in March/April, (cool, and little to no rain) and both of them are resort towns with plenty of hotels. The good thing is that those towns, although they are resort towns, are not in their high seasons during Thailand's hot season. So they experience their best weather of the year in March/April while the hotels are not full - and are therefore more reasonably priced than in THEIR hottest season. Darjeeling and Nainital are other options, although I haven't visited them yet.
During this year's hot season, I will be going to Dalat in Vietnam, which is easier to get to than India, and even cheaper. It is possible to get a decent hotel there for about 600 baht a night.
Twice I went to Nuwara Eliya in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka, and last year I spent the entire month of April there. I also once visited the highlands of Myanmar during Thailand's hot season, but I wouldn't go there now due to the political instability. And once I went to the highlands of Taiwan, which is also worthwhile - but a little bit far away.
So to summarize and conclude: Your wish to avoid the hot season is understandable, but I'm afraid that there is no place in Thailand to do this - at least no place that I know of. However, there are several suitable places more or less in the region, some of which I have mentioned above, and perhaps more that other people can add to this list. (You can check the temperature and rainfall of just about any place on the internet these days. I go for places that are between 15-25 degrees Celsius with little to no rainfall.) If Dalat works this time, then I will make it my go-to place for future hot-season escapes. (I have been to Dalat a dozen times during my seven years of working in Vietnam, but I have never been there during April, so I'm not sure how it will be.)
Omg! This is the perfect IELTS essay!!! Should be given to every student. 😊

Disagree.
If I were (uk example) a 67 yr old 40k Thai bht a month state pensioner. I'd take my chances and live healthy in thailand for as long as I lasted.
Many pensioners live very isolated lives in the uk. Better to be in thailand and accept the risks.

Most people, but maybe not some of the misanthropic posters on here would say that being loved is the most valuable thing in the world. Beautiful people are loved easily. Women's lives are especially determined by their looks. Genetic inheritance seems the quintessential example of luck.

Women dream of finding love, just like men.
Broken women treat men as a means to an end just like broken men do.
Broken men come to Thailand find broken women, often in a bar and extrapolate that the rest of the Thai population are just like them.

Fair enough. Men are boring. What you up to? Not much. What you know? Not much. What you think of (insert politician) big rant.
Women are more interesting. Better to look at too.
Do you follow any youtubers? If so, how many women to how man men?
On the whole I find older men much more interesting than older women.

Why do you spend your time getting to know post menopausal women well?

But when they accept there will be no long term committment they quite often just accept the good casual sex. Sometimes straight away, sometimes up to a year or two later. They start to hang out for a good seeing to. They know I will oblige.
How old are you Goat?
Guys who can't attract never understand that some guys do.
But I wonder how you'll feel the day you are relegated to this second group.

Divide the world into <deleted>, ok and nice (for you) and after that it isn't where you live but how you live.
I bet there's plenty happy and also depressed people in Monaco and my guess is the ratio would be the same in chiangmai.
